Chapter 468: Solution

Chapter 468: Solution

Li Sui looked much more terrifying than before. Her organs were not compressed, and there were multiple cavities inside her. To make matters worse, some of her organs were even hanging outside her body.

Clearly, Buns body could not contain Li Sui. The broken parts were forcefully connected to each other by Li Sui's black tentacles. It was rude to say bad things about his daughter, but Li Sui truly looked horrifying.

Li Suis chest was beating visibly as well, and Li Huowang saw a piece of paper protruding from the tiny gaps in her body. Li Huowang instantly identified the piece of paper, as it was the talisman that he had given to Li Sui.

Father, whats wrong? Li Sui asked. She had no idea why Li Huowang was staring at her like that.

Nothing. Im just looking at you. Li Huowang patted her head and said, Go tell Yang Xiaohai to make you an egg soup for you. Also, call some of the guys over here.

After dinner was free time for everyone in the village, so Li Huowang managed to gather the people he needed in no time.

The tall Gao Zhijian, the hairy Chun Xiaoman, the asymmetrical-looking Zhao Wu, and Puppy suffering from vitiligothey were the comrades who had risked their lives with him, and they had gathered at Li Huowang's call.

Yang Xiaohai, who was much shorter than the rest, had arrived as well.

Li Huowang stared at Yang Xiaohai, who was the cook of Cowheart Village, and said, "I didnt tell you to come here, so why are you here?

Hehe, I just got curious upon seeing everyone coming here, so I thought about checking it out. If you want me to leave, I can leave, though" Yang Xiaohai scratched his head out of embarrassment. He was on more friendlier terms with them, as they had spent a lot of time together at this point. Otherwise, he wouldnt have dared to do something like this.

Li Huowang ignored Yang Xiaohai and stared at Gao Zhijian. Hows the militia recruitment going? How long will it take for you to form a group that can fend off external threats?

Gao Zhijian scratched his nose and shook his head in disappointment. A long time.

Gao Zhijian then told Li Huowang that the village only had a few people talented enough to become soldiers. If someone wasn't disabled, then they had a chronic illness.

Gao Zhijian screened quite a few people before picking out two people who were barely adequate. However, this wasn't really strange, as Bai Lingmiao had bought slaves that the slave trader couldn't quite sell.

However, it wasn't to Li Huowangs expectations, and he knew that he needed to speed things up.

Zhao Wu, remember the gold that Sun Baolus mom gave us in Qing Qiu? Take them and go buy a few qualified people with Gao Zhijian. You can spend some extra money as long as they'll be loyal to us.

"We need to form a militia as soon as possible so you guys can protect yourself the next time theres a Natural Disaster or whenever Im not here.

Yes, Senior Li. Zhao Wu nodded and asked, Senior Li, are you heading out again?

Yeah, theres something I need to do outside. If everything goes well, I should be able to return soon," Li Huowang responded. Then, he looked at Chun Xiaoman and asked, Are you trying to learn the techniques of the White Lotus Sect beneath the ancestral hall?

Yes, I am.

Then, do it secretly. Dont let the others know about it. You can teach it to someone else, but make sure that they are loyal to us. Those techniques aren't as strong as the techniques in the military, but they are worth spending some time on.

I want everyone to leave except for Gao Zhijian."

The four glanced at Gao Zhijian before leaving with the items Li Huowang had given to them.

Li Huowang looked at the tall Gao Zhijian and said, Zhijian, I know that you have a complicated past. They've been saying that you're dumb and slow-witted, but I feel like you are not what they say at all.

Gao Zhijian nodded.

Do you want to return? Li Huowang asked.

Gao Zhijian shook his head.

Fine. Since you dont want to go back, I wont ask you about it anymore. From now on, this place is your home. Except for me and Bai Lingmiao, you are the strongest person in this village, so you must protect this place whenever I'm not here."

Li Huowang sliced open his stomach and took out a doll made out of human skin.

Take this. It will take a lethal attack for you.

Gao Zhijian wanted to decline the offer after knowing its effects.

I told you to take it, so just take it! Li Huowang exclaimed, shoving the doll into Gao Zhijians hands. Li Huowang also told Gao Zhijian that his skin would soon be fully healed.

Li Huowang patted Gao Zhijians shoulder and said, We're comrades, so dont be so distant.

Gao Zhijian put away the doll. Then, he reached into Li Huowangs bag of torture tools and took out a dagger. Gao Zhijian cut open his palm before doing the same for Li Huowang.

Afterward, he gripped Li Huowangs bloody palm.

Li Huowang stared at his palm, which was slowly being glued to Gao Zhijians palm due to the coagulating blood.

What kind of tradition is this? Li Huowang asked.

However, Gao Zhijian did not reply and simply turned around to leave.

Li Huowang did not mind it and took out a piece of paper.

The piece of paper contained the list of issues that he had to tackle as soon as possible.

This one is considered solved! Li Huowangs trembling finger glided past the second paragraph on the list, and the paragraph disappeared.

Secondly, the Natural Disasters are too unpredictable. The Surveillance Bureau's plan to deal with Natural Disasters was destroyed by the Sitting Oblivion Dao. Im not afraid of Natural Disasters, but how can I ensure the survival of Cowheart Village in these chaotic times?
